Welcome

My latest book is
Periodic Tales: The Curious Lives of the Elements, published by
Viking / Penguin Books on 3 February 2011. I’m delighted that it was
BBC Radio 4’s Book of the Week at the beginning of February 2011.

Accompanying the book is an entertaining evening of talks, demonstrations and chemical messy play called
Elements at the
Wellcome Collection in London on 8 April 2011.
